Your Hair and You – Eat Right for Beautiful Hair!

Healthy hair is an external representation of internal wellness. That unique shine and vibrancy of healthy hair delivers a message to the globe about your well-being. Whenever you’re ill, malnourished, or under anxiety, your own hair becomes lifeless and brittle. What’s going on? Therefore, let’s have a look on which food products you should consume in order to keep your hair on!

Food & Vitamins:

Protein: Your own hair is made of 98% protein, and it requires unique nutrients simply as much as the remainder of your body does. So you can most likely imagine that when it comes to your healthy hair, exactly what your key nutrient is. Since hair loss is linked with a high-fat diet, you’ll want to get the vast majority of your protein from the sources of low fat like seafood, chicken, and legumes such as soy. Nevertheless, although protein is the fundamental building block, excess of protein can additionally cause bad hair by making the body too acidic. Too much protein will additionally cause a calcium deficiency, which will diminish it from your own hair and also your nails. Protein is essential for the healthy hair development cycles. In situation you are a vegan or you are on a diet, be particular to make certain that your human body gets the essential protein.

Vitamins: There are minerals & vitamins which assist in the development of healthy hair. The viewpoint of your household physician is extremely crucial to understand if your serious hair fall is because you are not getting sufficient nutrients. Being a component of concern, pressurized lifestyle can often make it next to impossible to have great meals practices. The impact is a shortage of supplement. And this along with typical weakening of health results in hair fall too. Following are the top nutrients for growing hair:

Vitamin A: Vitamin A is another essential necessity for healthy hair. One of the indications of vitamin A deficiency is hair loss. If you’re consuming 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables, you’ll be getting plenty of vitamin A in yellowish and orange vegetables and fruits, and dark green leafy vegetables such as broccoli and kale. Other sources of vitamin A are liver, milk, egg yolks, and butter. Be cautious though of using oral vitamin A supplements, particularly if you’re a girl in the reproductive age team, as there are unconfirmed worries that Vitamin A in excess can cause birth defects, if you do happen to get pregnant while on them.

Vitamin B Group: All of the Vitamin B group are additionally crucial for healthy hair, particularly biotin. Pets lacking biotin develop dermatitis and their hair drop out. The wealthiest source of biotin is yeast.

Being bald has been associated with the scarcity of Vitamin B in a person’s body. Vitamin B5 causes enhancement in hair growth as a result of the existence of pantothenic acid and B3 also called as niacin. B6 is likewise significant to the human body, because it can help in the processing of nutrients such as other biotin vitamins, sulfur, magnesium and zinc.

Antioxidants – Vitamin C, E and beta carotene come in this team of nutrients that are referred to as antioxidants. Either a pill or a food regimen can satisfy your day-to-day vitamin residues.

Vitamin E: Vitamin E is another important vitamin responsible for healthy hair. For vegetarians, the only source of Vitamin E is green leafy veggies like spinach, mustard, green parsley, and broccoli, whole grains and peanuts like sunflower seeds and almonds. Other sources of food are unrefined, extra virgin olive oil, avocados, entire grains, and peanuts.

Vitamin C: All kinds of citrus foods and a couple of veggies such as tomato are great source of vitamin C. Beta carotene is discovered predominantly in fresh fruits and veggies having a yellowish or an orange color such as carrots, apricots, and cantaloupes.

Nutrients: The nutrients as silica, zinc, selenium, potassium, sulfur, and manganese are extremely important for enhancing hair growth and strengthening hair. The bulk of such nutrients could be discovered in chicken items such since chicken and egg, beef, as well as dairy products such as milk and cheese. Pumpkin seeds are the vegetarian foundation of zinc.

Iron – Iron deficiency is a basic cause of hair fall. This deficit causes slow blood circulation to scalp as well therefore the hair follicles are poor in nutrients needed for their healthy development.

Iodine – One can multiply the strength of hair by including iodine in one’s meals. Hair fall can additionally be a resultant of hypo-thyroidism (reduced thyroid hormones in the body) which depletes the iodine in our body. It’s much better to go for natural meals to augment our body’s necessity of iodine discovered in salmon, potatoes, seafood, lima beans, molasses, eggs, watercress, seaweed and garlic.

They’re the absolute most needed vitamins and nutrients and are excellent for healthy and increased hair growth.

Hair Items:

A gorgeous and healthy mane is a wonderful blessing. Making use of the appropriate goods for hair care guarantees that your hair remains full of life, healthy, silky and vibrant. Whatever your own hair length – very long, tiny, curly or straight, a crowning glory improves a woman’s persona and adds to the woman appeal. But, gorgeous hair is perhaps not the domain of simply ladies. Healthy and lustrous hair adds to a man’s personality as well. The best method to attain this might be by making use of great hair products, that are best suited for your hair. The following blog post will be about proper hair products for your crowning glory.

Yeah, true! Health and beauty are inextricably linked. Looking beautiful, feeling beautiful and being beautiful — all possible by nourishing the body, mind and soul. A strong body, healthy self-esteem, smart eating, and INFORMED CHOICES ON HAIR and SKIN CARE (for which your blogs seem to be the richest source ;), they all contribute to the beauty index of any normal individual.
I love your hair blog. Much needed. Will wait in anticipation for your next blog. 🙂

Hey Dr Shome, thanks a million for this blog. I am losing so much hair daily it’s not funny. However, I do make it a point to include all of these foods that you mention, but nothing seems to work. Wonder what the problem is…

Hi Vrushali, Thank you for writing in! What might be reassuring is that you are not alone. 🙂 Most men and many women share your angst. There are many reasons for loss of hair, internal milieu and external environment both being important. Losing up to 50 hair a day or so is normal and you do not need to worry. But if you are losing more than that and there is no extra stress currently, you are eating and sleeping well, you are not on any medications, you are not hormonally imbalanced (for a woman, that could mean, your periods are normal) and if you do not have any local scalp infections, then you should not be waiting any longer. See a good dermatologist immediately. We would be happy to help in any way possible. You could also seek more information on hair as a whole at http://www.theestheticclinic.com

Hair loss might soon be a thing of the past. My research group has come out with a molecule which in preliminary studies has revolutionized hair growth. 80% hair growth in about 6 months for more than 90% people who tried this injection therapy. Results in some cases were even better than hair restoration surgery! It is SO exciting that we have decided to patent this technology and actually come up with our own products soon. We call this molecule QR 678! 🙂

Hi Sujata, Thank you for writing in! As I said before, what might be reassuring is that you are not alone. 🙂 Most men and many women share your angst.

Sometimes, hair loss is something which happens only for a while and then rectifies itself! Just have more proteins, less fat, exercise regularly, try and be calmer and take some vitamin supplements. That should help and if that does not, see a good dermatologist immediately. We would be happy to help in any way possible. You could also seek more information on hair as a whole at http://www.theestheticclinic.com

Again, Like I wrote earlier, hair loss might soon be a thing of the past. Very, very excited! 🙂 My research group has come out with a molecule which in preliminary studies has revolutionized hair growth. 80% hair growth in about 6 months for more than 90% people who tried this injection therapy.

Hi Dr. Shome. I had a surgery done by you, if you can recall. Have started loosing hair since then. Changed shampoos to something milder and have included lots of leafy veggies to my regular diet of milk and fruits. Anything else I could do? I am almost a vegan btw. Thanks in advance for your help.

dr. your site doesn’t contain much about ur latest invention: molecule QR 678 injection.have you already started treating baldness with this injection? could u plz explain in detail about its cost, effectiveness, side effects etc.?

For Patients suffering from hair loss, we perform mesotherapy with the QR678 molecule which are patented growth factors, which is administered by tiny virtually painless injections in the scalp.It requires ~ 8 sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart.Generally 1 ml of solution is injected per session,each session takes 15 minutes, no hospitalization required, and costs Rs. 5000 per ml of injection per session.

The scalp has to be evaluated to find out if this treatment will work for you.It is very difficult to regain the hair that you have lost over time,and some patients just do not respond to traditional available therapies, and this treatment helps regain some percentage of that hair.Lotion applications are prescribed to you to which you have to use 2-3 times a week for maintainance, to prevent the ill-effect of hormones on the hair, after your sessions are over.

If the scalp is completely bald, this therapy will not work. Results generally are 50-60% regrowth or more depending on the extent of the problem. Improvement starts after 4 sessions.

I also recommend in severe hair loss that folks undergo the QR 678 to make the transplantable hair thicker. After all, th transplaned hair also comes from your own scalp, just from a different area, so thicker hair gives us more hair to transplant.

We have no other branch.However, if you can visit us for a consultation, to see your problem and if this treatment will work for you, it may be possible to give you the medicine, and a recording of the technique of giving the injections, which you can take from a local dermatologist / physician in your area.

You can call Ms. Sheetal – 9573617914 for an appointment.

Hi Dr. Debraj,

Could you please explain about side effects if any regarding your new invention QR 678. Also, what are the factors when these new treatments might not work. If someone is not living in India, do you have any process in place to make regular sessions available for them.

Appreciate your time to answer these questions.

Thanks,

Hello Dr.

I have this baldness problem for the past 5-6 years and now my hair loss stage is Norwood5. Do you think that QR678 would be helpful in my case?
Have just read about your QR678 solution in Times of India today and found it very encouraging but I still have concerns like: –

1. Is it only for people who have started experiencing hair loss and want to arrest the hair fall? Can it be used for people who are already bald but are very young in age say below 30?
2. The report says that you have already tested it on around 700 human patients and the results are very positive. Does any of these patients included any bald person? If yes, then can you please classify and provide the statistics for the effect of the treatment on each of the Norwood Stages?
3. Have there been any side effects in any of these patients?
4. How fast the results would be visible?
5. In my case I have been using Minoxidil and attribute the sudden freefall to the stoppage of this lotion. I am completely bald but there are a few strands left on the crown and central area

I stay in Delhi and would like to travel to Hyderabad to get rid of the hair piece that I am wearing for past 2 years. Do you by any chance visit the Apollo Hospitals in Delhi?

Regards
Rahul Gupta

Hello Dr. Debraj,

As you mentioned above answering one of the question saying, “If the scalp is completely bald, this therapy will not work” What does its mean?

I went to Dr. Batra’s Clinic and as per doctor available there, they said, my baldness is of 7th stage which can’t be cured by homeopathy treatment.
Do you think QR 678 therapy can work for me. Whats your suggestion?

Thanks,
Vineet.

Dr. Shome, I am 23 yrs old and suffering from male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia). My father, grandfather and uncles are also bald. So I guess, genetic factor is there within me. Do you think QR 678 will be effective for me ? I have come to know from a dermatologist that baldness with genetic factors have no cure other than transplant. Please suggest.

hey doctor,
I have some queries:
1. Do your molecule QR 678 contains Propecia or Mixodinil.
2. Does the treatment works in case of thinning hair.
3. Also which of the hair this molecule helps to regrow. I mean when it does not help in regrowth on the bald area then which area?
4. The cream which is to be used after treatment, do we have to use it in daytime as i have very thin hair………any cream will make me scalp completely visible?

Hi,

I work for a magazine on medical technology and we would be interested in covering this radical new technology. However before we go ahead with an article, I have a few questions that I hope that you would willing to answer.

1)Ostensibly QR 678 happens to create new hair follicles although you are yet to expound upon how exactly does this process work. What possible risks does it pose to a patient and how safe is the process?

2) Owing to the fact that proteins are injected into the scalp to galvanize the latent hair producing stem cells is there a potential risk for cancer. How exactly does 1r-678 mitigate or circumvent this potential threat altogether?

3)You claim to have conducted a 750 subject, double-blind study; no data or papers were published nor were any objective patient photographs submitted, Why?

4)Do you plan to undergo FDA trials in the U.S for this product?

thank you for your time.
